Brilliant! Delighted for the kid!

kevohmsford

Nice finish from the young man.

livinginkorea

Brilliant!

Billy86

Good man, Rossiter!

Have a Liverpool/Norwich double . Norwich are away to league 2 Shrewsbury and are 2nd in the Championship, so pretty happy to get 21/10 odds.

10 mins and he's already better than Lucas

ike

I've missed Enrique!!

livinginkorea

Great control and pass by Sterling. Fantastic vision

~Rebel~

Lambert really doesn't look on the same page as the others just yet.

Love watching Enrique's interplay with wingers.

Know it's been said before but Sterling really is brilliant.

Early days but a few nice touches from Lallana, linking up very well with Enrique.

Utopia Parkway

Enrique seems keen tonight.

Toure has a rusty ring? :eek:

Utopia Parkway

Is Kolo on drugs?

Kolo looks like it's his first game of football ever. How the hell is he still at the club tbh!

~Rebel~

Would love to see Markovic play with a little less fear...he looks terrified of ****ing up, so keeps taking the safe, simple option. To see him now you wouldn't know that he's lightning quick and skillful. Would love him to just start running at defenders.

Utopia Parkway

Lallana looks a bit sharper tonight.

Never thought he was quick but Lambert is actually slower than I thought. Can't reach any ball unless it's straight to his feet.

Very surprised here too

Sir Gallagher

Is Lambert wearing the captains armband or am i seeing things?

SlickRic

Still shítting a brick on any set pieces.

Utopia Parkway

Free volley from a Boro corner. Poor.

Osmosis Jones

Enrique hasn't put a foot wrong so far, nice to be able to choose between him and Moreno depending on the opposition.

He is. Just for a bit of craic on a cold and wet Tuesday night, like.

Super-Rush

Rickie Fucking Lambert is the captain?

Piss off Brendan.

hadepsx

Lambert having a mare imo

Utopia Parkway

I'd say Kolo is a great man to have in the dressing room but I don't think you want him on the pitch very often.

Wow...thats actually embarrasing for all involved.

Should have been Lucas, really.

What's with the Lambert hate, jaysus.

It's hardly the champions league final we are playing

Lambert looks lost, have no idea why BR would add more pressure by making him captain.

Wouldnt want him beside me in the shower anyway.

Because apparently black men have really big flutes.

Vicxas

We've been fairly desperate so far.

I'm really hoping we get better quickly.

~Rebel~

As has been discussed, he doesn't really fit our natural game if quick moving and interchanging..he's a battering ram. All our attackers usually tend to shift around getting involved in the building, whereas he tends to just stay up there. When we're putting on the pressure, he'll be great, but for the moment, he just looks like a square peg in a round hole.

Still reckon he'll get a chance or two in this game though, but I think a Sturridge/Borini type of player will lead to the team having more chances.

Lucas has been as bad as Lambert this season

kingshankly

This performance by lambert may be the worst I have seen by a first team player in years Christ the man is slow
Markovic not much better

kevohmsford

Liverpool all over the place.

Utopia Parkway

Captain is not playing. Neither is the vice captain. Hardly matters who's made captain after that to be honest.

Vicxas

Mignolet awful again.

Yes, but Lucas has been here for a long time, and given the club his best years. The reason he's not so good anymore is because of injuries gathered giving everything on the field for liverpool.

livinginkorea

Great save!

hadepsx

Unlucky.good save

If we are giving the armband out for sentimental reasons I have no problem with Lambert in that case

Vicxas

Liverpool second to every ball.

Lucas is also the most senior player out there, and has also captained the club in the past. Given that none of our more established, experienced guys are there, Lucas seems like the choice by almost any metric. The other person i'd consider behind Lucas would be Enrique. Would have Lambert towards the bottom of the pile. On ability, obviously Sterling, but that's a bit more pressure than he needs I think.

If Lucas was given the armband, there'd be even more people moaning.

I actually cant believe people actually give that much of a fcuk tbh

kevohmsford

Lallana and Enrique have linked up well at times.

Great dive

kevohmsford

What difference does it make who has the captains armband.
